Days wandering around Hogwarts

Chapter 389: Hurting Others

"Brother, is there something wrong with you?"

Under the night sky, the light of the bonfire shone on a tall, nine-tailed lady with blonde hair, green eyes, wide ears and huge breasts. Her fair, oval face was full of helplessness.

She was also wearing a lavender dress with a newly made hole for the tail.

Charles handed over a cup of hot tea and said, "My name is Charles Smith. What's your name?"

"You can just call me Cuihua." She spoke English fairly well. "I heard from my third uncle that foreigners are all very reliable. I didn't expect to meet someone as unreliable as you."

She took a sip of her hot tea and sighed again.

Charles asked curiously, "How does your third uncle know that foreigners are reliable?"

Cuihua sighed for who knows how many times. After taking another sip of tea, she said, "Our life is so hard now!"

"I heard from my great-grandmother that it was not difficult for us to ask for titles in the past. The villagers helped us. When the matter was done, we would bring two kilograms of snacks, fruits and a pot of wine to express our gratitude, and the two families would establish a good relationship."

"The villagers were afraid of us at that time and behaved in a proper manner."

"It's different now. Young people are getting wilder and wilder. My uncle became a Hafei Songhuajiang driver a few years ago."

"It would be nice if I could change it into a Santana. I can earn more as a taxi driver."

"My third uncle is smart. He went to the Russians and became a Russian. Now he is making a lot of money doing foreign trade."

"My mom said I could learn from my third uncle and become a foreign girl. Then I can take the entrance exam for Beijing Film Academy and become an actress in the future."

"My grandma is such a fool. She told me to go in this direction..."

She became more and more depressed as she spoke, and at the end she gritted her teeth and looked like she wanted to bite Charles to death.

Charles digested all the information and scratched his head in embarrassment. It seemed that he had harmed the girl.

Although this girl is now a great beauty (from Charles' perspective), her animal ears and tail are too conspicuous, disrupting her original life plan and making it difficult for her to go out. She might as well turn into a Santana taxi.

"Well..." He kept scratching his head, "Is there any way to change into another appearance?"

"No more." Cuihua sighed and shook her head. "After we become adults, we only have one chance to change our form. Our appearance will become what the other person wants us to look like. If we want to change, we can only change back to our four-legged form."

Charles continued to scratch his head, not knowing what to say or do for a moment.

The scene suddenly became quiet, with only the crackling sound from the campfire.

Over at the cabin, everyone crowded behind the window, watching with trepidation as Charles conversed with that being who was either a human or a magical animal.

In their view, the scary animal just now turned into an even scarier person, and the look he gave Charles was unfriendly and potentially dangerous.

Cedric said with some concern: "I'll go out for a while. I'm worried about it...she hurt Charles."

Joyce didn't say anything to stop him.

Seamus was about to say that he would go too, but Hermione gritted her teeth and said, "Charles will be angry if you go now."

Cedric asked curiously, "Why?"

Hermione recalled the unhappy past and pouted slightly and said, "He likes this type."

Harry thought of the collection of books in Charles' bedroom and said, "Indeed."

Since the two people who knew Charles best said so, the others also thought so, and Cedric no longer brought up the idea of ​​going.

By the campfire, Charles managed to say after a long while: "I think you have a nice voice, why don't you go sing."

Cuihua said helplessly: "It seems that this is the only way."

She continued to complain: "Alas, I almost spent all the New Year's money I saved to come here. If I had known this would happen, I would have gone to Hong Kong, where there are many foreigners." "How am I going to get on the kang in the future? My tail is bumping against the kang when I lie down. I can't make a hole in the kang, otherwise it will become smoked meat."

"What if all these tails lose their hair? How much shampoo will I need? Damn it..."

After she finished complaining, the teacup in her hand made by Transfiguration was squeezed back into stone, and then into stone powder.

Charles could only say: "If you have any requests in the future, just let me know. I will do my best to meet your needs."

"Forget it." Cuihua waved her hand, "At least it has two legs now. I'll use a trick to hide the ears and tail."

Charles raised his eyebrows and asked, "A trick?"

The same black smoke appeared outside Cuihua's body again, and her eyes were shining with scarlet light. She said at the same time: "Yes, it's used to scare people."

This illusion was indeed quite intimidating, and a large group of people immediately rushed out of the wooden house.

Charles saw them raise their wands and immediately waved his hands and said, "Don't do it, it's okay!"

Cuihua stopped her tricks when she saw this, stood up and said, "I'm leaving now. I have things to do when I get back. I'll come to England to see you when I'm free."

"Oh, I'm going to be laughed at when I apply for my ID card and household registration booklet with this look on my face."

"What will I do when I take the driver's license test in the future? I will have to use this look for my admission ticket during the college entrance examination."

She touched the big ears on both sides of her head depressedly.

Charles was stunned for a moment, and asked incredulously: "You still need to apply for a household registration?"

"Of course." Cuihua said as a matter of course, "My uncle still has the driving license. My father had a hard time finding a scrap car to put the license plate on for him."

Then she covered her mouth and laughed: "Every time before my uncle transforms, he holds the license plate in his mouth and wraps another one with his tail."

Charles also laughed, and it was indeed quite funny.

He asked again: "Where is your home? I'll go there when I have time."

He was quite interested in the Cuihua clan and planned to go and experience their customs and culture when he had the chance.

Cuihua said, "You can go to Qiqihar first, buy a ticket to Gouxiongling Station at the train station, and wait for a van without a driver at a roadside barbecue stall outside the station at 10:30 pm. They will say they are here to see me and you can just give them two steamed buns."

"I am leaving."

After she finished speaking, she turned back into a yellow fox. She drew a pattern on the ground with her left front paw, then slapped it with one paw. Her whole body suddenly burrowed into the ground and disappeared.

At this time, other people from Hogwarts gathered around, and Joyce asked Charles: "Who was that person? Did he not hurt you?"

Charles made an excuse and said, "She is a Chinese wizard. She was traveling and got lost. She came here by accident and just asked me for directions."

Neville shrank his neck and said, "She looked so scary just now."

Charles replied: "Yes, that is one of their spells similar to the Confusion Spell, which is specially used to scare people."

"It's okay, everyone go back and rest."

After confirming that everything was alright, everyone returned to the cabin, except Hermione.

"Did you turn her into that?" Hermione recalled some things she had read in books. "I remember one book saying that there is a magical weasel in China that can transform into a human form with the help of people."

Charles said, "There are also people who can turn into cats... Ouch!"

Hermione stomped on him hard and went back to the cabin.
